In this episode, Dr. Sarina Elmariah and Dr. Brian Kim explore prurigo nodularis (PN), with a focus on severe itch, fibrotic skin lesions, and their impact on patients’ quality of life. They discuss PN epidemiology, common comorbidities, and the challenges of managing multimorbid patients, while breaking down the neuroimmune mechanisms, highlighting the role of type 2 cytokines in itch and lesion development.
Listen to experts, Dr. Amber Luong and Dr. Marjolein Cornet, discuss the significant burden of oral corticosteroid (OCS) use in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and its short-term, long-term, and cumulative risks, particularly for patients with coexisting conditions like asthma. Experts highlight the need for improved multidisciplinary approaches and OCS-sparing strategies to optimize patient care.
Join Professors Klaus Rabe and Ian Pavord as they discuss the importance of on-treatment clinical remission as a goal in asthma management.

Professor Lisa Beck explores the chronic and persistent burden of atopic dermatitis (AD) as well as the concept of early intervention in patients with AD.
Join allergist Dr. Nicole Chase and dermatologist Dr. Jason Hawkes as they dispel common myths in the management of chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU). They offer practical, empathetic strategies to move beyond unnecessary diagnostics and delays, focusing instead on urgent treatment escalation and effective management to reduce the profound burden of uncontrolled CSU on patients.
Profs. Wytske Fokkens and Joaquim Mullol discuss the clinical significance of the loss of smell in patients with CRSwNP.
